2014 is a huge year for me.  I’m officially done having babies (my youngest, Lina is 6 months old) and I have some pretty substantial goals lined up for myself.  One of those goals is to get really fit.  And by fit I don’t mean skinny. I mean toned in a way that would make Gwyneth Paltrow - but not Madonna -  proud.  So, I thought what better motivation...

Easy Toddler Party
There are few things cuter than planning a summer party for a toddler.  They are easily impressed, usually end up naked or in nothing but a diaper and nothing beats baby babble in my books.  But given that my son's 2nd birthday falls 4 days from my due date, I knew the chances of having a successful party that week were zero.  Even planning a couple of weeks before or after the...

We're running a baby gear review of the week at the moment. So in that spirit, I...

When I first became a mom, I worried about sleepless nights, separation anxiety, and the Terrible Twos. I also assumed that the day my child started standing on her own and taking first shaky steps was a sign that things were about to get a little easier. No slings and carriers! No sore arms and back! Erm, right?

I was shocked to learn just how busy a newly minted toddler can be. My...

Naples, FloridaLike so many Canadians, I escaped to Florida this year to flee the cold. I don't know about the rest of Canada, but Toronto's winter felt never-ending and spring has been more than fashionably late. So, late one April evening, I found a deal and booked a one week air and hotel package at a Hyatt resort somewhere between Naples and Fort Meyers.  I justified the trip as a babymoon for #2, who...
